Have hardly heard Bigi mentioned yet - hopefully he'll hit a 30 yard equaliser:asshat:

Bigi would be fine at the Rioch ....... as a kicker for Wasps.

As calm as you like on Sky Sports by Jefff Stirling. Bristol Rovers 1 "Hapless" Coventry City 0

 

[Otis]

"Hapless" Coventry City

We should have that on our club crest.

 

[Nick]

Jesus, set piece

 

[Nick]

Shrewsbury playing Bristol Rovers too?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Get Jones on for Bigi. Bristol are not a good team, we need something here

 

[Nick]

Slade really needs to work on attacking set pieces

 

[Otis]

Slade really needs to work on attacking set pieces

And tackling and passing and defending and shooting.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Do NOT let Bigi take free kicks (pointless)

If I was a City player I would keep snatching the ball off him everytime we won a free kick.

It's been like that for god knows how long but still does

 

[covcity4life]

Sort it out slade!

 

[stevefloyd]

Turnbull needs resting.. for about 5 seasons me thinks

 

[chiefdave]

Set pieces annoy me. Its something the could and should be sorted out in training but we struggle to ever find our own player let alone create a chance.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

We sound like we're playing very 5 or 6 out of 10, but so are they. Get on the fron foot by getting a right winger on and running at them.

 

[Nick]

We need people who will have a go, take a shot or go on a run

 

[sw88]

Bristol counter again comes to nothing

 

[Nick]

They should have scored, but missed

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Shame, but the ones who can run, can't shoot ! (luckily, neither can they!)

 

[sw88]

Another shot well over from Bristol. Another they should have done better with

 

[Nick]

Will be interesting to see if any changes or adjustments made at half time.

 

[Monners]

The squad simply isn't good enough. Still, at least the club isn't losing money.

 

[sw88]

Ht 1-0

Not the best but not the worst of the season

Could be a worse scoreline should Bristol be better in front of goal

 

[Nick]

Maybe Jones on for bigi for the right hand side.

 

[stupot07]

I can't believe Bigi was playing right wing

Could even just swap him for rose.

 

[skybluepm2]

Woeful 45. Fear it could be 2 or 3. Too cold to type any more.

 

[stupot07]

Its probably a good thing, at least Slade is going to see the frailties first hand. If we'd have come out and steamrollered them it would be just papering over the cracks.

The window opens before the Bolton game.

To get a big strong defender, big strong midfielder and a big strong striker.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Turnbull is a poor player I'd rather Harries was playing

 

[eastwoodsdustman]

We were trying to play % into corners but they are better at it than us. Looks like we realised it and tried to start passing a bit. A bit betwixt and between

 

[Nick]

Would have thought we could have got better then Turnbull on a free!

 

[Pete in Portugal]

That was exactly what I was wondering.

Sorry do nt agree , a fluke, a great performance, anything will do but we need at least a point.
Frailties will be staring him in the face whatever happens.

We were robbed.

We should have got Turnbull and been given about £2m as compensation.
